He Zhiping was so startled by the scene in front of him that he took a step back. Carelessly, he stepped on a low tomb mound. Vaguely, he heard a woman sobbing.
He Zhiping's body froze suddenly. He quickly hid behind Yu Nian and wailed while apologizing, "I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't blame me..."
Yu Nian patted He Zhiping's shoulder comfortingly. Then she slowly turned her head and stared at a big tree, shouting, "You've been following us all the way. Why don't you come out?"
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. Then they saw Jiao Cheng, Xiaolin's elder brother, and his wife Liu Xiu, walking out from behind the tree coyly.
He Zhiping asked in confusion, "Why did you follow us? It's so dangerous here!"
Jiao Cheng looked a bit embarrassed. "I didn't want to come at first, but Xiuxiu..."
Before Jiao Cheng could finish his sentence, Liu Xiu knelt down crying. "Master, I'm not here to cause trouble. My son died for no reason. He didn't even get a chance to take a look at this world... I just want to seek justice for him. If you don't agree, I won't get up!"
Everyone tried to help Liu Xiu up in a hurry, but they didn't know where Liu Xiu got the strength from. Even three or four men found it hard to move her an inch.
Yu Nian looked at Liu Xiu for a while and realized that it had only been less than half a month since Liu Xiu's miscarriage.
The weasel's revenge was caused by Jiao Qi alone. Liu Xiu and her still - born child were truly innocent. So Yu Nian stepped forward and helped Liu Xiu up herself.
Maybe because she had left home in a hurry, Liu Xiu was only wearing a thin shirt.
Yu Nian took off her coat and put it on Liu Xiu, saying softly, "Let's go." Liu Xiu was immediately stunned. Her eyes looking at Yu Nian were full of gratitude.
The night wind was blowing gently. Just as Yu Nian was about to walk forward, a warm coat was draped over her shoulders. Yu Nian turned her head in surprise. Feng Chengyuan beside her naturally tightened the coat around her. The warmth left on the coat wrapped Yu Nian tightly.
Yu Nian felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to grab the clothes on her side.
Everyone walked forward. After about five or six minutes, a shrill cry suddenly came from the mountains in the distance.
The sound was miserable and shrill. It was like a baby crying and also like a cat meowing, but the tune was much longer. It seemed far and near, making it impossible to tell its exact location.
Feng Chengyuan frowned and looked into the distance. Vaguely, he saw a glimmer of light. A very blurry figure was walking slowly towards them against the light from afar.
The figure was very short. It was more like a thin creature like a monkey than a human.
When the figure got closer, everyone could see his appearance clearly in the moonlight - it was a weasel's face!
The big weasel walked up to everyone and gave a creepy smile. Everyone present felt a tightness in their chests.
When they opened their eyes again, the surrounding environment hadn't changed at all, and the weasel had disappeared. But Yu Nian knew that everyone had entered an illusion set by the demon's power.
The powerful demonic aura made Liu Mo suddenly show its original form. Its huge snake head swayed unsteadily, and it said disgustedly, "The stinky smell of weasels. I hate it so much."
Yu Nian said softly, "Weasels are very cunning animals and are very good at disguising. Everyone should always keep an eye on the people around you to prevent them from mixing in."
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately perked up and stared at each other warily.
With a soft "pat", a few drops of cold liquid dripped onto Jiao Cheng's neck. He suddenly looked up and saw that the treetops above were full of dense green eyes. In the dark night, they were like ghosts, as if they would pounce on everyone and tear them to pieces the next second.
The moment Jiao Cheng met those eyes, he felt as if he had been hit hard on the back of his head. He immediately closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that the whole world had changed. Everyone's face was distorted, and several terrifying black mists wrapped around him.
Jiao Cheng looked around in panic and was shocked to find that the source of the black mist was his wife Liu Xiu!
At this moment, Liu Xiu, who was walking in the middle of the crowd, suddenly stopped. She let out a violent cough.
She seemed to be choked by something. Her whole face turned red at a visible speed and was faintly purple. Then her body slowly bent down, fell to the ground, and curled up into a ball.
Guan Sheng beside her realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xiu didn't say a word. She waved her hand gently, indicating that she was okay.
But unexpectedly, the next second, the originally silent Jiao Cheng suddenly flew into a rage. He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Liu Xiu violently.
"What are you doing?" Feng Chengyuan stopped him in time. After snatching the stone from his hand, he kicked him hard. "Are you crazy?"
Jiao Qi's eyes were wide open like a crazy man who had lost his mind. His anger was about to burst out. "Don't be deceived by her. She must be a weasel spirit in disguise!"
Liu Xiu suddenly looked up and looked at Jiao Cheng in disbelief. She coughed even more violently. She staggered and knelt on the ground halfway, and then suddenly vomited.
Guan Sheng was very close to Liu Xiu. She let out a low exclamation when she saw what Liu Xiu vomited.
Yu Nian got closer and found that what was in Liu Xiu's mouth was actually all black hair!
Liu Xiu painfully grabbed her own neck. Black hair kept gushing out of her throat. Her expression was almost suffocated.
After she vomited out all the hair, she began to vomit a series of sticky fur and minced meat. When Liu Xiu saw the minced meat, her face turned even paler.
Taking advantage of everyone's momentary stupefaction, Jiao Cheng suddenly rushed out and kicked Liu Xiu in the stomach. Liu Xiu had almost no ability to fight back and immediately fainted.
Feng Chengyuan frowned tightly. He originally thought that Jiao Cheng was just emotionally broken due to nervousness. But in the moonlight, he saw Jiao Cheng's shadow clearly. There was actually a huge furry tail dragging in the middle, swaying constantly in the air.
Obviously, he had been possessed by a weasel!
Yu Nian rushed forward and chopped Jiao Cheng on the neck with a hand knife, knocking him out directly.
Jiao Cheng let out a whimper and then fell silent. Then a pale mist emerged from Jiao Cheng's body and then gathered into a huge weasel.
The moon glowed with a strange green light. The weasel's head swayed eerily from side to side. Black smoke curled around its body, like twining waterweeds.
The weasel's hoarse voice said faintly, "Little Celestial Master, you shouldn't have meddled in this business. Since you've waded into this muddy water, don't blame me for being ruthless to you all!"
The moment the voice fell, countless weasels emerged from the depths of the jungle and rushed towards everyone all at once. The stench peculiar to weasels spread in the air, making everyone have a headache.
Liu Mo's eyes widened angrily, scolding, "How dare you hurt my master? You're so bold!"
They saw its huge tail swing and suddenly fling several weasels in the front away.
Yu Nian also quickly pinched the incantation gesture and threw out several fire talismans.
There were a few soft "crackling" sounds. A series of sparks exploded in the air. The fur of several weasels was instantly ignited, and black smoke suddenly rose.
They immediately let out shrill screams and scurried into the grass in a hurry.
One person and one snake stood alternately in the front and back, cooperating extremely tacitly.
The weasel spirit was so angry that it slapped its thigh and screamed, "Why are you running away? Bite her!"
A little weasel took advantage of its small size and rolled quickly to Yu Nian's side. It showed its sharp teeth and was about to bite Yu Nian's calf.
But before it could touch Yu Nian, it was grabbed by the back of its neck by Feng Chengyuan and thrown to one side, falling flat on its face.
The little weasel howled and turned around with teary eyes to complain, "Boss, I can't bite her. That man is so fierce!"
